Late in February I was diagnosed with blood in my urine CT scan and a Flexible cystoctomy later I was informed I had bladder cancer .on the 5th of March I was admitted for a TURBT 10 days later I was recalled to the hospital to be told that the cancer had invaded the bladder muscle and I had two options Chemo followed by radiation or surgery which was a full cystectomy Bladder Prostate Lymph glands and seminal gland and form a stoma with part of my bowel .As you can imagine I was reeling ,but as I have always believed that if it does not belong in my body then cut it out . Full body CT scan and a bone scan clear . Went in for surgery on tthe 26 may 7 days in hospital Then returned home Slow recovery but now at 7 weeks feeling good .I am awaiting the results of my biopsy but feeling confident . I would like to thank the NHS and all the staff from consultants to nurses and everyone else for there prompt treatment of this cancer THANK YOU
